Datang Institute of Technology

Because Xu Changsheng was going to study in the Imperial College, his great grandfather had some new clothes made for him.

Xu Changsheng hugged his new clothes, a little shy, "Grandfather, can I not wear crotch pants?"

"Longsheng, you are only four years old."

Xu Changsheng: "..."

This is not good for being young, and you have to wear crotch pants.

Xu Chang was so angry that one could imagine him running around the city of Chang'an in crotchless pants.

In fact, he didn't really want to go to the Imperial College, it would be great to sneak around in Xujia Village and do construction.

He hasn't seen the house in Xujia Village being repaired yet, and he is about to go to Chang'an, which is a bit regretful.

Eyes rolled around, "Grandfather, I was ordered to go to Chang'an to study, and it would be impossible not to go, but if they don't let me enter Chang'an City, wouldn't it be considered as resisting the order?"

Haha, when the time comes, he will ride Dabai to the gate of Chang'an City to see who dares to let him enter the city.

Grandfather, "This..."

This is also a very embarrassing thing for him. The big tiger of Changsheng is always clinging to him, and there is no way to separate it.

The people of Xujia Village have been with the big tiger for a long time, so they naturally know that as long as they don't provoke it, it will not bite, and it is very spiritual.

But the people in Chang'an City don't know.

"I'll think of a way," said the great grandfather.

Xu Changsheng's eyes flickered, what can the great grandfather do?At that time, he will do so, not because he is unwilling to study in Chang'an, but because someone will not let him enter Chang'an.

Xu Changsheng ran away with his clothes in his arms, put them away, and then rode Dabai around Xujia Village.

Xujiacun is now full of excitement everywhere, and everyone who looks at him smiles and greets him.

"Uncle 28, good morning!"

"Aunt 37, good morning!"

Having stayed in Xujia Village for a long time, he has been able to recognize these relatives almost, and I really admire his little head.

As we walked, we came to a very flat square.

Yes, it is the square, the concrete square, which he designed for sports and leisure.

The basketball courts and badminton courts planned above have not yet started because there are no manpower available.

Now there is a very wide concrete floor.

A group of children are busy on it, because he designed a flower stand in the middle of the square.

It's about five or six meters high, with steps going up one level at a time.

The people in Xujia Village couldn't understand it, but they could do whatever Changsheng told them to do.

A group of children from Xujia Village are placing pots of flowers on the flower stand.

Xu Changsheng looked at it, moved his eyes, and ran over.

"Children, flowers are not arranged like this."

Talking and laughing, he began to draw on the flower table again.

"The red roses are placed in the frame I drew, and gardenias are placed in other places."

The flower stand is five or six meters high, and there are still a lot of flowers to be placed, and this arrangement took place until noon.

It was not easy to finish.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Brother Changbai let out a loud cry.

Xu Changsheng was startled, thinking that someone had fallen.

I saw Brother Changbai pointing at the flower stand excitedly, "This is a character, I know it, the first character is "Xu"."

There was a chattering sound.

The great grandfather enlightened them with the thousand-character script, and they knew a little.

From a distance, the entire flower bed is full of flowers, which is particularly spectacular, and the red roses in it form a big text.

I have never seen this art in ancient times.

The eyes of a group of children lit up, and they were extremely excited.

A slightly older child shouted, "I know, I know everything. These three words are Xujiacun, and it refers to our Xujiacun."

At this time, it was already noon, and the people in Xujia Village, who had worked all morning, were also preparing to have lunch, and then continue to repair the house in the afternoon.

When passing by, I heard a group of children screaming excitedly, looked over, and then couldn't move.

"Xu...Xu Family Village!"

The three characters "Xujiacun" composed of red roses on the flower platform are big and shocking.

This refers to their Xujia Village.

It's so beautiful, just like their current Xujia Village.

More and more people are watching the fun.

Xu Changsheng's small chest is very tall, see it, see it, this is art.

Even the great grandfather came to see it, with a smile on his face, "Okay, let's go home for dinner, and the house will be repaired in the afternoon. I want to take a look at it later, but it can't run away."

Only then did everyone turn around and leave.

It's really a step forward and three steps back.

Xu Changsheng looked at the square, it was still too monotonous.

But there is no way, the men in Xujia Village are repairing houses, and the women are repairing roads, so they have no time to do other things.

However, this group of children who are like wild monkeys for a day can be used.

Haha, they are all child laborers, but in ancient times, all the children in the countryside did not help the family with some things.

Xu Changsheng shouted, "Children, let's go home for dinner, and go to the valley in the afternoon to transplant my fruit trees."

His apple saplings, banana saplings, and grape saplings have grown very tall, and the grapes have begun to climb vines. If they are not transplanted, it will be difficult to transplant them in the future.

He plans to transplant these fruit trees around the square to enclose the square.

Haha, apples are planted on one side, bananas are planted on the other side, grapes are planted on the other side, and the remaining side is the entrance.

In the future, I will exercise and relax in the square surrounded by fruit trees. If the season is right, I can pick some fruit to eat immediately when I am thirsty. It is really great!

In the afternoon, a group of children started working in a hurry.

Although the fruit seedlings were small, some of them showed signs of dying. Xu Changsheng was very happy to see it, and he didn't know if he could pick up the fruit.

After working for a long time, Xu Changsheng ran away again.

The infrastructure of Xujia Village is undergoing major changes.

The only regret is the standard of living.

The first batch of chickens he hatched had no income because they were raised by Xujiacun.

The second batch can be sold for money, and then you can buy whatever you want.

But now, he had to get something to eat.

It's spring now, and it's time to plant wheat and transplant rice seedlings.

Wheat and beans are the staple food of the Tang Dynasty, and only a few people can plant some rice seedlings.

A few days ago, the women of Xujia Village sprinkled wheat on the ground when they were free.

These wheat seeds were bought with the money from selling oil. In the past, people in Xujia Village only grew soybeans, because soybeans were cheap.

Xu Changsheng thought about it, the wheat seedlings should grow well, so he went to cut some crooked wheat seedlings and squeezed the juice to drink, which was nutritious.

Even better if there is milk stirred into the wort.

Xu Changsheng ran home, picked up a basket and ran outside.

Of course, people in Xujia Village must be worried when he goes out as a child. A stronger woman followed her. It was the sturdy Aunt Thirteen. Cross meat...

……

In the field terrace, there is a very special family who are transplanting rice seedlings.

It can be a little scary to say it.

It was Li Shimin's family.

Li Shimin is a good emperor. In order to experience the hard work of farmers and govern the world well, he takes his whole family to plant seedlings in the fields every year.

Can you imagine the emperor's family, the queen, the prince, and the princess, bending over and planting rice seedlings like farmers?

That's what Li Shimin did, and he does it every year.

It's not formalism, but earnestly planting tens of acres of fields.

Li Shimin raised his head, his dozens of acres of fields were connected together.

He and Empress Changsun planted a field, and the remaining Li Chengqian was in charge of one, Li Tai was in charge of one, Princess Changle was in charge of one, and the other sons and daughters were still young, so they were not brought out.

The little fat man Li Tai kept wiping the sweat off his face, and there was a lot of mud on his face. He glanced at Li Chengqian next to him, how could he not get his face dirty when he transplanted rice seedlings?Pretty classy, ​​certainly not serious.

He shouted, "Brother, you're lazy, and there's no mud on your face. This year, my field's harvest will definitely be higher than yours."

Li Er and Empress Changsun also looked over.

Every year, they will compare who is responsible for the higher output of the field.

Strange to say, Li Tai's piece has the highest output every year.

Li Er wondered if Li Chengqian hadn't planted the seedlings seriously. Look, just like what Qing Que said, there was no mud on his face, and the peasant children would not be so elegant.

Li Chengqian also wondered, he also planted rice seedlings seriously every year, why is the yield not as high as others?

Because of this, some caring people said that his destiny is not as good as Qingque.

Of course, no one took it seriously, he was still the prince of the supervisor.

Li Chengqian raised his body, it would be a little uncomfortable to bend over for too long.

He was about to go back to the terrace to drink some water, but he couldn't help but froze.

On the field ladder, a child wearing crotch pants, carrying a basket, wearing a tiger fur hat, and biting his fingers, was looking at some pastries they brought without blinking, almost drooling.

this is not……

Li Chengqian was a little stunned, it seems that this place is not far from Xujia Village...

Li Chengqian walked up.

Xu Changsheng was about to show off his cuteness, tricking him into eating two cakes.

But when he looked up, he was also stunned.

Although this person was wearing coarse linen clothes, which were completely different from the brocade clothes and jade clothes when we first met, but his expressionless and handsome face was still as good-looking as ever.

Isn't this his good friend of Tang Dynasty, Brother Gao Ming?

Xu Changsheng laughed out loud.

The two looked at each other.

Xu Changsheng bowed politely, "Where do we never meet again in life, how is brother Gao Ming?"

Li Chengqian: "..."

If the other party hadn't been wearing crotch pants, there would be nothing wrong with saying this.

But... It's really weird for a child to talk to him like that.

The other party is still wearing crotch pants, crotch pants!

Xu Changsheng followed Li Chengqian's gaze for a look, and then his face turned red, he lost... he lost himself to death.

He told his great grandfather that he doesn't want to wear crotch pants.

No, the momentum cannot be weak.

Xu Changsheng straightened his body, and said in an adult tone, "Brother Gao Ming, do you like the flowers I gave you a few days ago?"

Li Chengqian was taken aback. Speaking of this, his two potted flowers are now famous. Ever since a group of wives were invited into the palace to enjoy the flowers, they almost lifted those two potted flowers to the sky, making it known to everyone in Chang'an. Some Guixun's families were looking for gardeners everywhere, and wanted to buy some flowers, but unfortunately they couldn't.

After Xu Changsheng finished speaking, he looked at the pastry next to him. The meaning was obvious. I gave you flowers, so you have to treat me to a pastry.

The corner of Li Chengqian's mouth slightly raised, and he handed over the pastry.

Xu Changsheng took it, his eyes smiling like crescent moons.

At this time, Li Tai was still yelling, "Brother, my field has the highest yield every year, you must not have put your heart into planting rice seedlings, hum, you are not a good farmer..."

Xu Changsheng looked over while nibbling on the pastry, blinking his eyes, and pointed to a nearby field, "You planted this field?"

Li Chengqian took a rare break and nodded.

Xu Changsheng looked around again, and he probably knew why the fields he, a good friend of the Tang Dynasty, planted were not as productive as others.

Because there are many towering trees around Li Chengqian's field, covering the sun.

That is to say, this field does not have enough light, and with the same planting method, the yield is definitely not as good as others.

Xu Changsheng's eyes twinkled, "Give me all these pastries, and I'll teach you how to farm, and ensure that the yield is higher than others."

Li Chengqian was a little dazed, "You still know how to farm?"

"So-so, Datang is third." Xu Changsheng laughed.

It's really...too much, Datang No.[-]?There are so many people farming in the Tang Dynasty, but they can't compare with you, a child?

"Then who are number one and number two?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.

Xu Changsheng raised his chest, "Of course it's His Majesty and the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, except for them, it's me."

Haha, he is so smart, now is the era when the imperial power is supreme, it is not easy for him to be number one.

The corners of Li Chengqian's mouth raised slightly undetectably because of this flattery, and he handed over the remaining cakes, which were not much at all, and were almost eaten by Qing Que and Chang Le.

Xu Changsheng took it, thinking it was exchanged by this good friend for his farming method, so he hurriedly said, "I will teach you a Longtian method..."

The so-called Longtian method is to raise the field to form regular strips, and plant the seedlings in the raised soil, so that the soil is more breathable, the root system of the seedlings is more developed, and the rice planted will of course be fuller. Some.

The Longtian method first appeared in the Song Dynasty, and it is still early.

It's not like now, where rice seedlings are directly planted in the field without any technology at all. It's no wonder that in the Tang Dynasty, the output of rice was extremely low, and it has never been successful.

Li Chengqian looked at Xu Changsheng, who was eating cakes and talking constantly, and didn't react for a while.

A four-year-old child who can talk eloquently and clearly?

Just like what the residents in Chang'an City said, it may not be wrong to say that his "friend" is a genius...

The sun is a little bigger.

At this time, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun also came up wiping sweat.

With a smile on his face, Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian, "This kid is..."

Li Chengqian was also going to introduce his "friend". He had planned to tell Li Shimin several times that his friend was only four years old.

But every time he spoke, he was interrupted by Li Shimin. When Li Shimin heard Xu Jiazi's words, he would think of the words that the chicken had scratched. He is a famous calligrapher, and thinking of those words was like eating a dead fly.

So every time Li Chengqian mentioned it, he would reply, "Don't mention it again, let him practice the words well before speaking."

He insisted on blocking what Li Chengqian said later.

Li Shimin was about to ask where the kid came from, but before he finished speaking, his expression became dark.

Because his eyes saw the basket Xu Changsheng was carrying, a basket full of green wheat seedlings.

The Tang Dynasty is short of food, and this ignorant boy in the country cuts the good wheat seedlings in the basket.

Li Shimin took it personally and took his family out to farm every year, not just to not forget the hard work of farmers all over the world.

Now in front of him, someone actually wasted wheat seedlings like this.

Li Shimin didn't like to get angry with a child, but his face couldn't look good, and he said with a straight face, "Which child are you, to ruin the crops like this?"

Ruin the crops?

Xu Changsheng was taken aback, no, he had harvested crooked wheat seedlings, those wheat seedlings that were accidentally spilled in strange places when sowing, and it took him a long time to collect this basket.

Speaking of the wheat seedlings in his basket, Xu Changsheng was very happy, and replied in a childlike voice, "It's not spoiled, it's not spoiled, you don't know, it's nutritious to squeeze the wheat seedlings for juice."

Squeeze... Squeeze juice to drink?

Li Shimin was said to have blue veins on his forehead. If all the people in the world were like this child and used good crop seedlings to squeeze juice, would his people still eat or live?

It's unreasonable, and I don't know where the trend of squeezing wheat seedlings came from, so I couldn't help but speak louder, "You ignorant child, do you know the importance of crops, and how many people in the world can't afford to eat?" ? You actually..."

Even Empress Changsun couldn't help but say, "Young Lord, you can't waste the crops like this in the future..."

Xu Changsheng was a little confused, what happened?

Are they trying to reason with a four-year-old?

Can't help but glance at his good friend, is it true that the family does not enter the family, this family likes to talk about the truth, and the world is the world and the common people at every turn.

He said that he himself felt that he was a evildoer who did all kinds of evil and destroyed the world.

Hey, he just found some crooked wheat seedlings everywhere and squeezed the juice to drink!

Li Chengqian looked at the two who were educating people, and then at the "friend" who was obviously confused by the talk.

The corner of his mouth twitched, Father, Queen, Queen, you didn't have this attitude before.

Royal father, you just said not long ago that your minister is a corporal.

And mother, you just said that someone is of high character, good in character and learning, and everyone in Chang'an knows it.

Now that people are standing in front of you, your attitude has completely changed?

Xu Changsheng was really taken aback by the words.

Aunt Thirteen, who had been standing aside and watching, was not at ease. She had been watching their parents and chatting with others, but suddenly the two of them ran over and began to preach to their parents.

Who is Changsheng?That's the golden baby of their Xujia Village, can they be bullied?

With a fork on his waist, his face froze, and he put on the air of a shrew cursing, "What's wrong with our little man squeezing some barley juice? Isn't it just some barley, stealing your house and stealing yours? My little man Is cutting some of your own wheat getting in your way?"

Both educators were overwhelmed by Aunt Thirteen's words.

Li Shimin: "..."

Even if Wei Zheng hates him every day, it is justified, and he has never seen such an unreasonable woman.

Children don't teach well, but also condone and cover up.

No wonder they do things to spoil the crops,

Xu Changsheng looked around, oops, this is going to quarrel, these are the parents of his good friend, maybe they will meet again in the future.

Xu Changsheng hurriedly pulled Aunt Thirteen and left.

But he didn't waste the crops, and he felt a little aggrieved after being told about it. He turned his head and looked at the dark-faced middle-aged man, "Uncle, you have such a bad temper. You can't find a wife like this, hmph."

It's hard for him to say anything about that woman who looks like sister Guanyin.

Big...uncle?Can't marry a wife?

Li Shimin's jaw almost dropped in surprise. He is so majestic, His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, is this being teased by a country kid?

"Pfft!" Empress Changsun couldn't help laughing. This child is really naughty and wild. I am used to seeing well-behaved children in palaces and ministers' homes. Now I suddenly see a strange child. The same thing, but I found it very interesting, so I couldn't help but look at it twice.

Then he looked at the uncertain expression of His Majesty Tang next to him, how many years had he not seen such an expression?

His Majesty Tang was expected to be sullen for a long time, but he was teased by a child. As a wise emperor, he couldn't do anything to a child. Empress Changsun couldn't help covering her mouth with a chuckle.

Li Chengqian watched his heart, but he didn't hear anything.

At this time, he will not tell anyone that this little kid is his "friend", because the father will not care about a child, but he will.

After a while, Li Shimin finally choked out a sentence, "Wh...it's unreasonable."

Empress Zhangsun wanted to laugh and felt a little embarrassed, so she tightly covered her mouth.

At this time, in the distance, a child's voice sounded, the voice was a little ethereal.

"At noon on the day of hoeing,

sweat drops to the ground,

Who knows the plate of Chinese food,

Every particle is hard work. "

(Remarks: From "Hoe Wo" by the great poet Li Shen)

Brush brush.

His eyes looked at the tiger-skin cap who was carrying a basket, kicking his calf, and shaking his head strangely.

"This……"

Li Shimin was stunned. This mountain child who had been educated by him just now and didn't know how to cherish food suddenly recited a classic poem describing the labor of farmers.

Take a look at this poem, it is concise and clear, and it is very popular. It describes the scene of farmers farming in detail. What's more valuable is that it persuades people to cherish every grain of grain.

If this poem hadn't come from the mouth of a child who squeezed the juice out of barley seedlings, he would have liked everyone in the world to read this poem and know that every grain of grain is precious.

Li Shimin was tangled and depressed. He felt that he had been slapped in the face by a child, and it was still slapped. He said that others don't understand the hard work of farmers and cherish food, but they just threw him a slap This is the first educational poem with far-reaching meaning that can last forever.

As an emperor, I have never been so aggrieved as I am now, and I couldn't help shouting, "Child, which family are you from?"

Being able to read this poem must be due to the origin of family education.

"Children of the Xu family in Jingyang County, uncle, don't always keep a straight face in the future."

A child's voice faded away until it disappeared into the field.

A child of the Xu family in Jingyang County?

Isn't it Xu Wenyuan's Xu family?

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian angrily, "From now on, ask your friend to discipline the younger generation of his clan."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help muttering, "Xu Wenyuan was a great Confucian of his generation, a scholarly family, and a pure scholar all his life. How could he teach such a little brat who can read two lines of poems without understanding the reasoning?"

Li Chengqian didn't know what to say, looking at Li Shimin who was still a little angry, if he told the truth now, what would happen to him?

Let's wait until the father's anger dissipates.

Li Chengqian felt that he might be angered if he stayed, so he glanced at Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun nodded and told him to leave, leaving her alone to comfort the sulking Li Shimin.

Li Shimin and the others travel, of course not only their family.

Among them is Dasi Farmland Yannian.

Tian Yannian was observing the fields, just like a simple old farmer.

At this time, Li Chengqian approached, "Master Tian..."

Tian Yannian was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "What's the matter, His Royal Highness?"

Li Chengqian said, "Master Tian, ​​I have a new method of growing rice called the Longtian Method..."

Why did Li Chengqian care so much about what a four-year-old child said?

One is that Xu Changsheng spoke clearly and logically, not like empty talk at all, and some of them were very profound, like promoting root breathing, he couldn't even understand.

Second, when Xu Changsheng sent him the two pots of flowers, he wrote in a letter that he had grown the flowers himself, and that he must have some insight into farming to make the flowers bloom in this season.

That's why he came to see Da Si Nongtian Yannian.

Like an experienced farmer, Tian Yannian frowns and thinks while listening to Li Chengqian's words.

Li Chengqian asked, "Master Tian, ​​is this method feasible?"

Tian Yannian thought for a while, "It sounds clear and logical, but I don't understand some of them by accident, so I have to try."

Li Chengqian nodded, "Just use my field to try planting."

Tian Yannian was taken aback, "Your Highness, although the annual farming competition between you and other Highnesses is not very important, but..."

Li Chengqian knew what he was going to say, "It doesn't matter, anyway, I will lose every year, and this year is not bad."

Tian Yannian thought for a while and didn't say anything else. This is all about the royal family's business. It has nothing to do with him as an old farmer. "Your Highness, dare to ask, where did you come from? "

Li Chengqian, "It was a gift from my friend."

"Xu Jiazi?" Tian Yannian's eyes lit up, "I heard that the two pots of flowers of the empress were also made by Xu Jiazi? I also went to watch them specially, but I didn't find out why. I didn't expect Xu Jiazi not only to be talented, but also to have unique skills in farming. Your Highness, please introduce me, the old man will definitely regard him as a confidant, a friend who forgets years."

confidant?Year-end friends?

Li Chengqian looked at Da Sinong, who had a sincere face and a white beard, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

After finally persuading Da Si Nong, who wanted to become a confidant with a four-year-old kid.

The two walked back.

Now Longtian, relying on Li Chengqian is definitely not enough.

Da Si Nong recruited some people and began to grow the field according to the method Li Chengqian just said, and even pulled out the seedlings that had been planted.

Little fat man Li Tai ran over, "Brother Huang, what are you doing? You can't ask others to help you in the farming competition."

Even Li Shimin and Empress Changsun came over, "Chengqian, this is..."

Before Li Chengqian could answer, Da Si Nongtian Yannian said, "The prince's friend, Xu Jiazi gave the prince a unique farming method called Longtian method. I think it seems feasible, so I just tried it."

Li Shimin was taken aback, "Is it Xu Jiazi again? Does he still know how to farm?"

Da Si Nongtian Yannian interjected, "The empress's two potted flowers belong to the Xu family, so he must have something unique about farming."

Thinking of those two potted flowers, Li Shimin was also amazed.

He murmured in his heart, when he finished practicing his calligraphy, the imperial court might really have another talent available, but he was also a member of the Xu family, so why didn't that brat just now have the slightest bit of integrity and seriousness of this Xu family member.

In his heart, those who can settle down to study farming are all down-to-earth and serious.

The son of the Xu family that Chengqian made friends with was good except for the handwriting that he couldn't agree with.

At this time, Xu Changsheng was drinking the freshly squeezed barley juice vigorously.

For the barley juice, he was reprimanded, and he had to drink every drop.

At this time, the great grandfather Xu Wenyuan walked in, "Changsheng, you can enter Chang'an tomorrow."

Xu Changsheng was taken aback, "Aren't there still a few days left?"

The great grandfather said, "Tomorrow, our oil will be transported to Chang'an City for sale, and the second batch of chicks will also be transported for sale. There are more people going to the city, so we can take care of them."

"Oh." Xu Changsheng nodded, blinking his big eyes.

He will take Dabai to the gate of the city tomorrow to see who dares to let him into the city.

Tsk tsk, it's not that he refused to obey the edict, but that someone prevented him from entering the city.

……

In the city of Chang'an, at the gate of the city, it has been extremely lively these past few days.

At any time, there are a group of Chang'an residents and some scholars guarding the door.

Because Xu Jiazi, whose "fame" spread far and wide in Chang'an, should have come to Chang'an these few days.

They are ready to see it.
